Bill Barr Shreds On The Bagpipes At The Opening Of US Attorneys’ Conference

U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr played the bagpipes at the start of the U.S. Attorneys’ Conference in Washington D.C, Wednesday morning.

The U.S. Attorneys’ Conference opened with a performance from the Emerald Society Pipe Band, consisting of men in kilts marching while playing bagpipes and drums. Barr sat on stage observing the performance until the music suddenly stopped. He then rose from his chair and briefly walked back stage to retrieve a set of his own bagpipes.

Barr began to explain to the audience how the performance was organized.

“Jessie and Rob and Zack thought they were going to surprise me by having the Emerald Society Pipe Band come down from New York,” he explained.

“But as you know, I’m very proficient at…dare I say the word: spying,” he joked. “And I discovered the plot, and so this was my counter surprise.”
